What transportation means to take to travel between Tehran and Shiraz?

In almost 90
percent of the Iran tour itineraries, the direct trip between Tehran and Shiraz
is included. This route is like traveling back in time from Qajar and Pahlavi
days to ancient Achaemenid era. As said in previous posts, Tehran is the city
of Qajar and Pahlavi palaces, professional museums, contemporary art galleries,
theatre and music festivals and modern restaurants. On the other hand, Shiraz
with stunning monuments from Zandyieh, like mosques and historical houses with
colorful windows and tile works and ancient remains like the glorious
Persepolis and the mysterious Necropolis is a fabulous city to visit. Shiraz,
stimulated to heaven by great Persian poets, is also known for its pleasant climate
and hospitable local people. For commuting between these two touristic cities, you can choose your own
kind of transportation from safe planes, to trains, comfortable buses and even sedan
cars.

Tehran-Shiraz flights:

Numerous flight services (about 12 to 15 flights) are operated between Mehr
Abad Airport in Tehran and Dastgheib International Airport of Shiraz every day
and night. These flight services are operated by good Iranian airlines, like
Qeshm Air, Mahan Air and Aseman. This flight is about an hour and a half.

Tehran-Shiraz buses:

More than 20 buses move between these two cities every day and the bus trip
is about 12 hours. Remember to ask for an overnight VIP bus because they have
more leg room and the seats are much more comfortable than the normal buses,
besides you can sleep during this road trip.

Tehran-Shiraz train:

Polur train with four seat compartments is available on the Tehran-Shiraz
route every afternoon and evening. The train trip between these two cities is about
15 hours. You can spend this time chatting with Iranian people, drinking tea in
the train’s café and taking rest on comfortable berths in your compartment.

Tehran-Shiraz sedan cars:

This choice might seem more fun and adventurous. You can play your favorite
tracks on the car’s audio system and ask the driver to stop anywhere that
seemed interesting to you. On the route between Shiraz and Tehran, you can
visit Qom, Kashan and Isfahan.
